De nos jours à New York, un vétéran noir américain de la 2nde Guerre Mondiale, Hector Negron, assassine un immigré italien sans raison apparente. L’enquête s’oriente sur les traces du bataillon noir américain « Buffalo Soldiers » envoyé en Toscane pendant la 2nde Guerre Mondiale. En 1944, une escouade de soldats noirs américains se retrouve dans un village toscan en montagne, encerclé par l’armée allemande. (Splendor Films)

Spike Lee on the battlefield? I think that even if he went to the other side of the universe, he would still pursue his favorite themes, which he can set in any environment. In this war drama about the fact that miracles sometimes do happen, he looks again at racism and the sins of the past that can reverberate even decades later. Although it is not as much of a game with the viewer as, say, Inside Man, the directness will be more to the likes of many. This is especially true if you can appreciate likable characters and miracle-level coincidences (which, judging by all the crying on IMDb, you probably can't). But even if not, the ice cream passage or the church in St. Anna are emotional highlights that few other films offer. It’s too bad that the cathartic ending, which I suspected from the halfway point, doesn't have the same impact. Otherwise, it’s great. 4 ½.
